Elite coach Dan Whittaker explains how 'Leap Frog' can make you a better player – and how to adjust the game according to your handicap

In this winter instruction series elite coach and YouTube star Dan Whittaker is joined at his High Legh headquarters by Alex Perry – a 14-handicapper – and Dan Murphy – who plays off 3 – to run through a variety of drills that can be slightly adjusted depending on your ability.
